Well that's unexpected. Would have preferred an original series one myself, though. Couldn't really get into Korra.

Well, Nintendo's a primarly Japanese company, aside from Retro, and I don't think Retro is hiring all that many people. But yeah, from what I can tell at least, Nintendo is good at no mass layoffs. I hear Ubisoft Montreal is also relatively stable compared to other jobs, and that's mostly because both Nintendo and…

I heard rumors that Microsoft wanted to own the IP in order to publish a sequel and Crytek wouldn't budge.

I tried playing Guacamelee, and it was unplayable when I could connect. Thugh it did inspire me to buyit for 5 bucks in the sale, and the difference was incredible.

This calls to mind this:

That composite map of various level screens... it's a work of beauty.

Indeed.

Excellent. Kind of hope you can make new stuff with said resources beyond ships/gear/weapons.

It looks cool... but I do want some actual gameplay content and not just exploration. It looks to me like it'll have space battles and I'm guessing some FPS elements, but I would like more info on how that works.

Rather, they're built as virtual…

Is this the first time a AAA game takes inspiration from a popular indie game genre? Only other example I can think of is Everquest next.

Personally, I'm just glad a JRPG is coming out on consoles. I really don't want to go portable for that :/

It's the perfect place to start.

His LinkedIn suggests he is now working on Civilization: Beyond Earth and Evolve? Huh

Considering the only memorable part of Spec Ops was the writing, and everything else was serviceable... I'm more excited for what the writer is doing next. Apparently he's still working at another 2K company.

Excellent.

I would greatly enjoy a pirate game without the trappings of a completely separate series.

Hope we get some info tomorrow.
